Lambeth Council has approved an Air Quality Vision for the borough – setting out tough new targets to reduce pollution and improve public health.

The Air Quality Vision for Lambeth will now be used develop the forthcoming Air Quality Action Plan 2023-2025, which will be a framework for all council policy around air quality and pollution.

It also comes after the council’s annual Air Quality Report published this summer suggested there had been a continual fall in NO2, PM10 and PM2.5 levels across the borough, but high pollution levels remain in some areas.
